Abstract
2017 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Perennial Ryegrass Test: 2018 Data
Highlights
More than 100 entries of perennial ryegrass were evaluated in the perennial ryegrass National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) study in Manhattan, KS, in 2018
Study Description In September 2017, 112 entries of perennial ryegrass were seeded in Manhattan, KS, at 6 lb/1,000 ft2 and plots reached full cover quickly (Figure 1)
There is less genetic diversity among perennial ryegrasses than what we typically observe with Kentucky bluegrass or creeping bentgrass
Summary
More than 100 entries of perennial ryegrass were evaluated in the perennial ryegrass National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) study in Manhattan, KS, in 2018. Several entries consistently ranked in the top 10 in quality from month to month. Perennial ryegrass is a cool season grass and has been used extensively on golf courses, sports turfs, and in mixtures for home lawns in Kansas. Perennial ryegrass is very fast to germinate, which makes it attractive when a quick repair is needed. Ryegrass may suffer heat stress in summer in Kansas. We have been evaluating the quality of new entries along with industry standards in Kansas
